I was a little scared going into Grandparent's Day since I was with a much older grade until I remembered the "Old Fart Booth" app on the Ipad - we used for 100th day in Kindergarten but I thought it would be great for this as well - my kids LOVED this!! Best of all it is FREE!
It is basically an aging app and you can add accessories. I limited my students to 2 accessories so that you could still see them. They turned out hilarious!
The top left one is me....sadly I didn't even smile for my picture and I will look extremely stern when older apparently! I discussed previously with my students what would change when they are grandparents and we recorded those and used this sheet below.
They had a great time filling them out with their grandparents and it led to discussions of how today is different than when their grandparents were in elementary school.
Here's a view from our hallway:
The grandparents got such a kick out of these and the students loved working on them together with the grandparents as well! It worked out to be a great way to connect and discuss about the past and the future.

Thank you. This will be perfect for my 5th graders!
ReplyDeleteOh My goodness- I did this first thing this morning with my 5th graders for our Grandparents that are coming later today. These turned out SO cute! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get your pictures of your kids to be aged?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I would love to do this tomorrow for our G-P day
Disregard my comment, I didn't read your whole blog!! I'm sorry! I see where to get the aged pictures of the kids
ReplyDeleteI requested access but never got it?
ReplyDeleteI tried downloading the worksheet but it asked fore to request access. I'm excited to do this with my students.
